A curious Anne Archer lifts the lid off of a boiling pot only to discover the body of her young daughter’s mangled and bloated bunny. It’s a film scene that still echoes in the minds of…
“Dirty John” creator Alexandra Cunningham and writer Kevin J. Hynes’ series opens in the present day in Los Angeles, with a frazzled and bearded Dan pleading his case for parole. He’s served 15 years for killing Alex, a crime he attests to, before being granted his freedom. A young woman, whom the audience later learns is Dan’s estranged daughter, Ellen , listens to her father’s confession, intrigued since he’s always maintained his innocence.
Alex , a victim’s advocate assigned to one of Dan’s cases, comes waltzing into his life like a dream. She is just the temptation and distraction that he’s been looking for. The pair embark on a steamy but quick affair that comes to a grinding halt when Dan notices Alex’s emotional instability, and tries to distance himself from her. However, as fans of the film know, Alex is not a woman that will be ignored.
The main distinction between Episode 3, “The Watchful Heart,” and the initial episodes of “Fatal Attraction” is that the point-of-view shifts from Dan to Alex. The series begins to follow Alex from her childhood through her time in law school, and even the months before her move to L.A., which puts her in Dan’s orbit. The third episode runs along the same timeline as its predecessors, but Alex’s motivations and inner thoughts are suddenly made plain.
Still, “Fatal Attraction” is not without some hiccups. Storylines and characters get convoluted, the series takes far too long to hit its stride, and costuming truly should’ve let Jackson keep the beard as Dan in the present. Additionally, there’s no one to root for here. Everyone, except for Beth and Ellen, is pretty vile.
